The following items we clip from the
Mankato Review:
G. B. Nelson, of Omaha, Gen. land
agent of the B. & NJ. railroad, was look
ing up the real-estate business in and
about MankatO the first of the week.
The man who fails to cast his vote
and influence for the proposed Rock Is
land road will be an enemy to himself,
his neighbor, his county ana his state.
VIII it pay 10 vote railroad bonds il
Jewell county? Figure it out yourself.
The proposed Rock Island will run
through seven townships, giving Jewell
county about thirty eight miles OF rail-
road, and will, OF course, be assessed
at from $4,000 10 SI5, goo per mile, be-
sides the rolling stock and the taxable
railroad property, and four per cent. is
the amount collected in Jewell county
on the present basis OF assessment.
thus you see we have but little or moth
ing to pay alter the twenty years that
the bonds will have to run, besides in
creasing Uue value Of real-estale. Yes,
we think it pays to vote bonds, and
pays well.
We understand that a corps Of B. &
NJ. surveyors were seen On Big Timber
last Saturday, heading straight for Man
kaLo. II our memory is not at fault,
the B & NJ. surveyors have already in
time past run three or four lines to
MaDkato, but as yet have never made a
move 10 give US a road. The b. & NJ.
surveyors are no longer IA terror to the
people Of Jewell county, and this ruse
Of the said company 10 defeat The great
Rock Island raihOad will talI far short
OF the mark, and The people of this
county will not be taken in by anything
so transparent. Our hands are out
stretched 10 welcome the B. & NJ. or
any other company that wants to OuIld
into Jewell, but merry a stretch, merry
d hand shake, merry u welcome unless
YOU mean business.

From a Former Editor Of the
Herald.

RUSSELL SPRINGS, Mch. 2SJh, 81.
Friends Of the Herald:
Having reached the s'promised land"
1 now remember m5 promised letter.
On Wednesday rom 1 reached Hill
City, the active little rival of the pres
ent county seat Of Graham, and found
al the people energeticaIly at work to
secure the proposed line of the Mo. p.
from Stockton The HopsDn Bros 81,
well known TO your Phillip burg read
ers, are doing a nice business in the
hardware line. In the afternoon we
went over 10 Millbrook with Sid Miller
who, like every true Kansas man, counts
every vacant lot in his town q little bet
ter than those in any other. Bonds
were voted in several townships the day
previous and each township is morally
certain that II Will have the railroad
In this case propositions were submit
ted 10 two lines of townships, one on
each side of the river, thus using one
line TO club the other. We wonder how
our Phillipsburg friends. who think
their railroad proposition unjust. would
like something Of this sort Of a scheme
We arrived here Thursday and found
a small town characteristic of our boom
ing western country. All the buildings,
with one or two exceptions, have been
constructed within the past few weeks,
and the near future will see still more
improvements OF public nature that
will insure the future success of this
town. A short time ago one half in
terest in the town site was sold for SI5-
600 with a further consideration that
$1,000 we're to be expended in public
works, viz: A count house. to be do
mated to the county; a school house to
the district; and a system of water
works. The town derives Its name
from the springs at this place which
flow flOm the top of the hill Just south
Of town and fIom which it is proposed
to supply the town. This was once a
famous camping place at the time Of
the California gold fever, being on the
old trail leading from Fort LeaveE-
worth to Denver via It. Wallace.
The land Of this County is mostly up
land prairie and quite level or rolling
except along the Smoky Hill where 1t is
somewhat broken and sandy. The soil
shows ali the marks Of Il new and an
cultivated country and while the en-
thusi ,stc faith OF the ''Iender FOOT
Will likely get backset, it Will doubt
.ess make a good agricultural section
some day, but Phillips county IS d pretty
good place. Yours &c.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking of of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited fhe consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and BOschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction of tiIirty-siX cents per
dozen, has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving One-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for cough and lung troubles,
have perhaps. the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage OF increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted. in every town and vil-
lage in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size. marc

Imposing Procession at the Centennial
Celebration of Revolutionary Events.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-The last cen-
tennial of revolutionary times began this
morning with beautiful weather. All the
hotels were filled to Overflowing by yester-
day morning and every inch of surplus
space had been filled with cots. IL is safe
to say that there are at least 100000 vis-
itOrs from a distance. The monster civic
and industrial pageant started from Broad
and Dauphin streets shortly after 10
o'clock and marched to Broad and Moore
streets, distance of nearly five miles, and
then cOuntermarched to the starting point,
passing through one continuous line of
observation stands gaily decorated with
the flags of all nations. On North Broad
street there was scarcely house, public or
private, that was not covered with bunting
and otherwise gaily decorated. The mon
ster civic and industrial.parade illustrating
the advancement Of the industrial arts and
sciences during the past century it is be-
lieved eclipsed anything of the kind ever
known. There were in line 800 floats, each
bearing representation of some particular
branch Of industry, 12,300 horses and 15O
bands of music. At the head Of the column
rode Col. A. London Snowdon, chief mar
shall, and his staff Of fifty aids, standard
bearer and two trumpeters, directly behind
them and leading the column itself was the
Marine band followed by a grand banner
representing Columbia pointing to the past
with one hand and with the other to the
present, the former being represented by
old implements and conditions and the
latter by those OF to-day, indicating pro-
gress. The banner typified the demon
stratiOn and was drawn on car by six
horses.
At sunrise this morning the United
States war vessels now anchored in the
Delaware river began their part in the Gel
ebration. A salute of thirteen guns was
fired from each one of them. One hour
later the Queen Emma followed with sa-
lutte Of eleven guns. All Of these vessel s
are handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags, and tonight they are Illuminated
with Chinese lanterns. Beautiful pyrO-
technic displays were made from all the
vessels in the harb0r this evening. Presi-
dent Cleveland and party arrived here at
$50 tonight and were at once driven to the
Lafayette hotel.

ST. PAUL1S DAY,
The First Pleasant and Profitable Day of
the Minnesota State Fair.

-
the Minnesota State Fair.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 15.-OId Sol came out
bright and warm this morning to WOO the
st. Paul people from their homes and make
the day devoted to them great success
1t was the only really pleasant day of the
fair thus far and everybody seemed dis
posed to take advantage of it. Thousands
of people came out on the early morning
trains and the number from Minneapolis
was as large apparently as from st. Paul,
but after dinner the people fairly focked
to the grounds. For an hour there
was a steady stream from the depot
to the grand stand. The financial
success OF the fair is yet doubtful. Ii the
sociatiOD will make large amount Of
money. If the weather is bad it will lose
heavily. The management has never been
better. President Merriam deserves any
amount of credit for the way in which he
has worked and his judgment and untiring
energy make him the recipient OF honest
compliments from everybody on the
grounds. The horsemen particularly are
loud in their praise. The only thing with
which any fault is found is the prevalence
of gambling. For this Mr.. Merriam is not
altogether responsible. He gave positive
orders to his officers to remove every game
from the grounds and they informed him
that his orders had been carried out.
The track was good and the attendance
very large at the state fair races to-day.
Budd Doble's Roxie McGregor was first
in the 2:25 class, Charley Boy second and
Pharo third. Best time 2:24I.
E. C. Longs brown gelding Chanter won
the 2:S0 guaranteed stakes race for $2,50O,
Billy Freer second, Rosalind Wilkes third.
Best time 2:20%.
L. A. Legg's brown horse Carnegie won

SALTWATER, MIMI, Sept. 1S.-Ex-War-
den Reed has filed his answer to the
charges against him. He denies that he

of the money or property of the state to
his own private use or benefit. He denies
that he has been guilty Of immoral con-
duct and denies specifically the charges Of
sexual intercourse with female convicts.
